Knights of the South Bronx

While I must admit the primary theme of inner-city kids finding their inner sense of power and confidence through a unique teaching method is not new, and rather cliche these days, that doesn’t change the fact that this film was a delight to watch.

So if it’s not using writing like Freedom Writers and it’s not music like The Ron Clark Story, then what is it? These “Knights” learn how to overcome their challenges by learning to play Chess.

In similar fashion to the other movies I mentioned, the main character in this movie also learns a lot about following his own heart and overcoming his internal challenges by helping others overcome theirs. If you’re looking to get out of an unhealthy situation or just make some real changes in your life, then this movie will be an inspiration to you.
